The “Erectus Trouserius” ( The Trouser Snake) is The World’s Most Fascinating Snake.
Colors vary from pink, to tan, to black and every shade in between.
It’s fangless, with an average length of 5 – 6 inches ( although some are said to reach 8 inches depending on the honesty of its’ owner.)
Some may be hooded by a fleshy membrane while others display a big head , though both species have only one, barely visible eye.
It usually appears in bedrooms or other dark places, but can be found just about anywhere depending on its’ need for social inter-action or mood.
It often seeks refuge when excited, in the mouth of its’ prey and the occasional open crack or hole if one is readily available.
Contact with this snake can be anywhere from several minutes ( quickie) to many hours ( over-nighter) if allowed to do so.
Its’ highly sought after venom, which it spits out when provoked long enough, can be swallowed without any adverse after-effects, used as a skin cream if collecting becomes messy, or collected in stretchable skin-like pouches to be safely discarded anywhere.
This snake, because of its’ poor eyesight and tiny brain usually requires assistance in any activity it engages in. Patience is required, as most times it has no idea what it is doing until after it is done.
If you come in any kind of contact with this snake, be gentle. It tends to become larger when excited. It excites easily, but has been known to play dead if not interested or tired.
Please be careful not to expose it to cold water or temperatures, as it has been known to go into a state of hibernation for a long period of time.
Like all snakes, it can be fun, but also deadly, as it has caused choking due to unsafe handling and always wear protection when you are unsure where it might have been before.
